I listen to Spotify on my work computer. In the last few weeks the fan always spins up when I try to play it, and I'm constantly having to reload the window for it to play anything. Playback will stop in the middle of a song sometimes.
open.spotify.com in Firefox on Windows 10. I disabled ublock. Same issue on work network and home.
Yes. Spotify seems to stop playing a podcast when on the website. Although it looks like it's still playing but the audio stops.
I can't install anything on my work laptop so I had to use the website. It's not great. I wouldn't be surprised if they were leaving it shitty on purpose so more people will download the app
